Would diacetone alcohol work as a catalyst for the production of potassium from potassium hydroxide and magnesium? Its a tertiary alcohol just like
other common catalysts such as tert-butanol.
Any ideas?

There are two problems here. First, diacetone alcohol has a carbonyl group that would get reduced to a ketyl by both magnesium as well as potassium.
Second, the highly basic conditions would just deprotonate the carbon between the carbonyl and hydroxyl group, dehydrating the diacetone alcohol to
mesityl oxide, which now has a conjugated pi-system that is even more prone to reduction.

I tried to connect the allene moiety with models this morning. The best I could do was an 8-membered ring containing the allene oiety and 1
tetrahedral N and 4 tetrahedral carbons, and this structure also seemed to have a little strain. |

One more question
Would chlorbutol (trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol) work as a catalyst for potassium production from KOH and Mg?
Its a tertiary. Maybe the three chlorine atoms would be a problem?

Acetic acid
Can acetic acid be made from recrystallized copper acetate?
By displacing copper with lead, and adding HCl to it?
Last time I tried, it didn't crystallize out in cold. Because of low concentration?
Acetate of copper seems to be more stable then chloride.

Gold anodes
Can gold be used as an anode in brine electrolysis or things like copper sulphate?
I can get gold plated things from electronics, its much more common than platinum.
I tried a small gold plated wire, it turned black!
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Yes, they would be a problem, as already mentioned. Keep in mind that magnesium and potassium are both extremely powerful reducing agents. This means
you're going to need an alcohol that doesn't have any easily reducible functional groups or they will react with both your initial magnesium metal, as
well as any potassium metal that does form. The reaction conditions are also going to be highly basic as well, so your alcohol can't have a bunch of
acidic protons that will get removed by the hydroxide and alkoxide ions, or by reduction from the magnesium or potassium metal. (although, in this
case, there aren't any)

Fischer Esterification
I was wondering if sulfamic acid could be used as a catalyst for Fischer esterification or even making ethers such as diethyl ether. Does anyone have
experience using this. According to Wikipedia it can be used for esterification, but I am unsure if this applies to all reactions for example between
ethanol and ethanoic acid etc. It also has a pKa of 1.0, is this suitable. Also, apparently when it reacts with alcohols organosulfates are formed-
could this allow it to be used to produce ethers?
Thanks.

Calcium Nitrate
I found something that I find quite strange. Calcium nitrate is rated "3" on the Instability/reactivity part of the Fire Diamond. While potassium
nitrate and sodium nitrate is 0 on the yellow.
The "3" on the yellow is desctibed as: "Capable of detonation or explosive decomposition but requires a strong initiating source, must be heated under
confinement before initiation, reacts explosively with water, or will detonate if severely shocked".
Is calcium nitrate really so unstable compared to sodium or potassim nitrate?
I have heated small amounts of calcium nitrate with a butane torch before but nothing happened.

Is that Fire Diamond used for anhydrous Ca(NO3)2 or for the tetrahydrate form?
Because I can see reason for the anhydrous form, but not for the hydrate.

No, sulfamic acid undergoes solvolysis in alcohols to yield ammonium alkylsulfates which are only a slightly acidic salt. It's an interesting prep but
not too useful.
Even if it didn't undergo solvolysis, for Fischer esterification, you really need a strong acid to have a good reaction rate. The acid needs to
protonate the alcohol. Alkyloxoniums have a pKa of ~-1.7 so you ideally want an acid with a lower pKa than that to achieve significant quantities of
the intermediate.

I recently dissolved some 99% Sn solder in HCl. All that's left out of solution is the resin core (the rest was 1% Pb). Is it feasible to crystallize
out a chloride of tin, or should I just precipitate it out as a hydroxide or basic carbonate or something...?

Yes, it is very possible to crystallise out tin(II) chloride if you leave some excess tin in solution and wait for the evaporation. (no heating!)

Heating isn't necessarily an issue. Blanchard gives directions that depend on heating (among other things), as the dihydrate crystallizes out of the
saturated solution on cooling. Vaporization by air will provide acidic air, dealt with in whichever way.

Hmm, makes sense I guess, but I've seen many other metal solutions hydrolyzed (I think that's canon usage), so I'll try it with a little product
first.
